How to add qsvg

[Aceman2000]

Hi,

I have an app, which has some .svg files as resources. These get passed to QIcon constructors. When my app is built dynamically, everything works, but I want to build my app statically. When I do that, the icons disappear. Sometimes I get errors from QObject::moveToThread saying that some object not being in the corrent thread (I'm not calling moveToThread), and that my ':/something.svg' files cannot be loaded because Unknown error. I also can't add qsvg to my application, because I get wierd "undefined reference to `qt_plugin_instance_qsvg()'" errors.

Thanks for any help.

You need an SVG icon engine to be present in your application. If you compiled the application statically, you have to import the appropriate static plugin into your application. See the docs about static plugins for more details.

Thanks for your reply,

I've read the doc like a thousand times (so if the solution really is there, I have selective vision ). I did add a QT_PLUGIN += qsvg line to my .pro file, and also a Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qsvg) above my main(). This is producing the linker error (undefined reference to qt_plugin_instance_qsvg() ). It looks I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what...

Do you have the static plugin compiled?

[Aceman2000]

Afaik, yes. I have libqsvg4.a, libqsvg.a, libqsvgd.a, and qsvg4.dll in qt/4.3.3/plugins/iconengines

up .

Do you use QMake binary from static Qt build? That linker error about plugin instance usually appears when you link a normal non-static plugin with your application.

[Aceman2000]

I have configured Qt with -static -release -no-exceptions.

Do you have more than one Qt version installed?

[Aceman2000]

No, only 4.3.3, and it's in the default directory, too.

Do you compile your application in the release mode?
